My truck has the 4.6 and I'm trying to sell it, cause my compression is weak and I have a blown head gasket. I used alumaseal and it's not burning coolant anymore, but I know this engine won't last for a long time. I have 188k miles on it. If the engine goes before I sell the truck, I'm dropping a 5.4 in. It's a direct bolt up, swap the computer and you're good to go.

Assuming you're referring to a gen 10 motor. Not unless your 4six is a 3V lol.

No, it won't in a 07 5four truck.

Trade? Why would you want it? I assume you have money, as they burn as much fuel as twenty years ago
